I just finished Firestorm, the prequel novel to Dawn of the
Planet of the Apes, a few days ago. I loved it and it has made me
even more excited for the movie. It was a great book and I'd like
to share my thoughts.

I thought that Greg Keyes did a great job developing Dreyfus and
Koba. He made Dreyfus out to be a kind of hero for San Franscisco
and just an all around great guy. I loved what he did with Koba
giving him a backstory. I really felt sorry for Koba. He had a
broken past and it really makes the character so much deeper.

I also loved some of the new characters he added like Talia,
Malakai, Clancy, and David. These were all solid character that
felt genuine and were very cool. I really enjoyed the parts with
Talia in th…

I just saw the new trailer for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
It was fantastic! It was very cinematic and really cool although I
did like the last one better. With that said I'd like to talk about
a few things.

First of all, there is going to be alot of apes and I mean alot.
I know we've seen this plenty of times but here it really popped
out on me. With the apes running through the city at the beginning
and the shot we already saw of Caesar's apes all gathered behind
him we will definately be getting alot of apes.

By the way the shot of the apes taking down that bear is super
cool.

I also think that the relationship between Malcolm and Caesar is
going to be very strong and this trailer seemed to stress that. We
hear Malcom t…

I was looking though the twitter page for Dawn of the Planet of
the Apes and they posted a picture of who I believe to be River,
Caesar's eldest son but they have him named Blue Eyes. The picture
also has a subtitle that reads "Nick Thurston" noting him as the
actor so it is safe to assume that he is River. The part that
really stands out about this is the fact that he has blue eyes. Why
does he have these blue eyes? Don't all of the intelligent ape's
eyes turn bright green? Mabye it is because he is the son of an ape
that has had it his whole life. River would be the only ape whose
father has been altered at birth, There could also be another
reason why. Who knows. What do y'all think?

I was looking through the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes youtube
account and they had this video up. It showed the digression of
London and at about ten seconds in the ape's symbol (Caesar's
bedroom window) appeared. My question is how did the apes get to
London to put that on there. They have no way of crossing the
ocean. I'm sure there is an explanation or they simply made a
mistake but what do y'all think?

I am a huge Planet of the Apes fan and I have just joined this
wiki. I have only made a few minor edits and commented on a blog
post to help create our fannotation but I hope to contribute a lot
more to this wiki.
